What are you thinking?? Having two hot girls in a video aimed at a bunch of repressed geeks? I watched the whole video and I don't remember a thing about it. (Were they baking a raspberry pie?)
Nice tip for the Linux command line: When typing filenames (of files that already exist) or package names, you can type just the first few characters and then hit the TAB key. If it can work out what you're trying to type - as there's only one filename / package name that you could mean - then it'll auto-complete it for you. If it's ambiguous - more than one file / package could match what you've typed so far - then you can hold TAB and it'll show a list of matches. Type a few more characters, until it's unique and it knows what you want, then hit TAB to auto-complete it. This not only speeds up typing commands, but it means you don't have to get filenames and packages exactly right. Just the first few characters and hit TAB for auto-complete. So you could have typed, say, "sudo apt install choc" and then hit TAB. If "chocolate-doom" is the only package that fits "choc*" then it'll just auto-complete it. If there's a few packages that starts "choc" then holding TAB will give you a list of the matches - type enough to make it unique, so the command line understands which one you mean, and it'll then auto-complete. (Particularly with "apt", as there's an awful lot of packages, if the list of matches is a bit on the ginormous side - like, try "lib" and hit TAB, as there's tons of library packages that start with "lib" - then it'll rather say "list all 158 possibilities (y / n)?" and you hit "y" to see the list. This is just because, you know, the list of matches could be truly massive, so it does have a built-in "are you sure?" and paging for very long lists.) The command line also has a history too. If you press up arrow then it'll step back in the command history (and down arrow, as you might guess, does the opposite and steps forward in the command history), so if you've typed it before, then you can call it back up. Very useful if you just made a small typo - up arrow to get the last command back again and then edit it to what it should have been then hit Enter. The TAB auto-complete and history feature can make using the command line a bit faster and more convenient.
Also, interesting fact. DOOM originally used the arrow keys, rather than WASD, to control the character. While this might feel a bit awkward for a right-handed person - as you've got to reach over with your left hand for the arrow keys on most PC keyboards - John Carmack, who coded DOOM, is left handed. So, for him, with his mouse on the left side of him, and arrow keys under his right hand, this was perfectly natural and that's how he coded it. But, yeah, most modern games prefer the "WASD" keys instead, these days, because most people are right-handed. Although, the best games account for both righties and South paws alike, by allowing either "WASD" or arrow keys (or, you know, just provide a "define keys" options screen to set it how you like). So, in fairness to LadyFractic, John Carmack's default layout is actually a left-handed layout and that is a bit awkward for right-handers.
@@klaxoncow Actually controlling movement with the arrow keys in Doom can be right handed since in the early days, I didn't use mouse for doom, and used the left hand to control left/right strafe using the comma and period keys. Remember doom did not have a concept of aiming up or down, just side to side, so the extra control to aim with the mouse wasn't as necessary. It was only when Quake came out that up and down aiming became possible/needed.
I really love Perifractic, his wife, Ladyfratic, and their doggos. I recently lost my brother (he was my best friend in the entire world), and I have been looking to fun, feel-good videos like these to cheer me up. Thank you, Retro Recipes, for being there for me in this dark time in my life. Love you guys; blessings to you all.
I’m sorry to hear that. Lost my mom to stage 4 in October. Dads fighting stage 4 now….. and once he’s gone I’m alone at 33. No family. TH-cam and content nerds have kept me alive these past few years
Sorry that you lost your Brother, I lost my brother in 2005 and while it never get's better, it certainly helps that I can look back and be reminded about the good time we both had in the 80's playing on our Commodore 64.
Absolute couple goals to straight up have your passion bleed into your SO’s so much that they don’t just tolerate it, or love it independently themselves, but love it with you. So freaking cool.
Wow so much went wrong! From 3D print jobs failing causing multiple-day setbacks, to Ladyfractic cutting her hands on the computer pieces, breaking the monitor ribbon cable, the keyboard not working over USB, the monitor orientation being upside-down, and the OS constant crashing, this series has it all! Thank you for showing us that with hard work and perseverance, you too can run the shareware version of Doom on an 8-inch screen! Jokes aside, thank you for a super entertaining & informative build series. Looking forward to what's next, maybe a demonstration of the Gameboy sewing machine?
Fantastic job Lady F! Really appreciated seeing all of the hiccups. Half the battle on a project like this is not sweating the setbacks so thanks for showing how to do it right. Also loved the Doom level 1 treat at the end.
I absolutely adore your channel. I stumbled upon the Callisto 2 a few days ago while looking through Retro Terminal STLs for a “home library” digital card catalogue build. I am extremely excited to see the Fractal’s build. Time to get the slicer spooled up. Thanks for demo!
So cool seeing it in action, I really wanted my own - it’d make a great gift for my nephews ☺️ Also - nice to see the advert for Pikuma, I can vouch for the 3D course, I’ve signed up for the 6502 course after 🙂 Nice work!
Thank you! I recommend printing your own while of course learning from my printing mistakes! That’s also great to hear about Pikuma. It’s a company we really believe in and feel it aligns with our message. - LF
2:43 the Switches are colored, which refers to the loudness of the click (if any) and the pressure and distance needed to do a keystroke. The key caps can be any color.
As much as I was indifferent to RGB-lights-on-everything when it first came out, I cannot deny the subdued brilliance of that keyboard in this build. So great and thanks for sharing all of this with us.
Kinda cool how far SBC's have come. In a few years every kid will be making their own robots, meanwhile, I still haven't achieved Elite rank in Elite on the C64...
I wish I could've laughed at the "hide the paint harold" smile at 18:50 but that has happened to me too and I really felt the pain. Must be really frustrating especially when you are trying to film a video. Thanks for keeping it in the final edit. It feels much more real when you can see that building stuff has it's struggles.
Great work on the computer and video, Ladyfractic & Josiefractic. I always enjoy seeing a great Raspberry Pi project from start to finish. That keyboard is fabulous.
I'm printing mine right now, started the day before yesterday. All goes well, so far. My third big part is almost done, just in time before getting out of filament. Ordered the same colour (silver) today. I try to print the pins and monitor parts this evening, I think there's just enough for that. Then the three other big parts. I'm not very experienced in 3D- printing, but I'm stunned of the results on my Creality Ender 3D Pro. I like the videos of both of you, certainly the ones about Knightrider. I was a big fan in the eightees. Best regards from The Netherlands. Btw, I subscribed!
you managed to put 5 cable into 3 components in just about an hour, without destroying ALL of them. congrats and it went really fast from "we don't need this guy" to "darling, can you help us, we're lost already"
I really enjoy watching people deal with hurdles (self-induced or not) that occur during their projects. Makes me feel less alone in that regard. I laughed several times during this video. Don't worry, they were all "sympathy laughs"!
I am so glad! We firmly stand behind not sugar coating our projects. It's not realistic and I feel it's misleading. Also I am very accident prone and have to laugh at it 😆- LF
That's a awesome project to do and it nice to have a build to show not just a hollowed out old console, props to you guys 👏 love your material keep the awesome work going
I imagine I'm not the first person to say this, but the "-y" at the end of that apt command is a flag that allows you to skip all the y/n questions that may be asked, and just answers "y" for everything. If you had put a space between "chocolate-doom" and "-y" it would've run the same, just without asking you any questions. Love the videos, keep doing your thing.
I love you guys!!!! Been looking for exactly this kind of case for a while. Plus the thingverse link shows a slightly larger version for a slightly bigger monitor. Definitely gonna use this to rebuild my home file server.
I think that was an amazing job. Well done to Ladyfractic, Josefractic and Mr Ladyfractic. It might be nice to polish up the Dierya keyboard with some retro style key caps to give the full retro effect. Maybe a paint job on the case as well? Still, this was a great episode. P.S. I'm not sure that screen is designed for middle-aged+ eyes to look at. Magnifying glass at the ready for older users to read the screen. Either that or get Specsavers as a sponsor.
The key caps is a good idea. As for painting it, I made sure to choose a filament that was already the preferred shade of Retro Beige. The screen seems like it isn't designed for anyone over the age of 12! 😆- LF
@@RetroRecipes Fair enough. Retro beige is a good choice. Enjoy typing on the Dierya, which looks very like the Royal Kludge 61 keyboard I bought a few years ago.
when You're sliding to last base and your pants feel of foam DIERYA DIERYA, yes I know I'm a big kid lol. BTW the song (benny hill theme) is Boots Randolph - yakety sax and I thought Josie was going to save the day
You did! I referred to it in the video at 16:54 because I remembered your comment. I will say the reason I plugged it in that way was because you would typically plug them in with the cable facing downward, even though this one was weirdly opposite. I'd never seen one like that before. - LF
A treat! Fighting through some adversity, working with friends (and who doesn't like a visit from Josie??), and having some fun after final success? Fun video. And even if that keyboard name is a bit dubious, the sound and lighting are still calling out to me! :-) But seriously, thx for an upbeat video with some humour.
Awesome job! Great work! Love it! I had a idea for others following. When dealing with the upside-down display, to avoid the reverse controls, you can turn your mouse backwards until the screen orientation settings are adjusted.
I know LadyFractic and yourself are big fans of ASMR, so how about LF doing a video about the different kinds of Keyswitch? [seeing as Blue switches got a mention in this video]. Blues are clicky, brown are bumpy and reds are smooth :)
Where did you get the model for that? Have you seen the scifi TV show severance? At the main characters work they have 4 cubicles set up in an office and they're all using Data general dasher terminals but the weird operating system that's on them is added in post. After the first season I really wanted to 3d print the chasis and put a raspberry pi/screen/etc inside with some animation and sounds from the show. This looks really cool.
I never heard of this pigeonOS before but now I understand why 😅 Anyways, that's a great video. I want to see more Lady Fractic experiments like this one 😀
Nicely done! However, I have a question... how come the boot sequence log and everything was correct side up when you used your RetroPie SD card? I would expect it to be rotated again... so upside down...
Remember. Original Doom didn't allow the player to look/aim up and down, nor jump, so WASD controls wasn't a thing yet for first person shooters when Doom was new in the mid 90s. You can rebind keys to do that.
Sometimes it can be useful to put the cable tie through the sticky pad holes before you put the sticky pad onto whatever surface you are sticking it to. Good job though. :)
Great video! I have a suggestion for you. I have built a number of retro systems using various models of Raspberry Pi computers and different monitors, keyboards, controllers, etc. One thing that I always do that helps is to bench test the components before installing them into the case. It will help you to identify any hardware or compatibility issues in advance. It is also easier to change your screen orientation if needed.
nailed it fantastic world we live in you can print your own case and there's components like the screen and keyboard you virtually have a pc which looks retro but is completly capable of being up to date and compact using raspberry pi and your not limited to any os or functions. by the change of os it could be media viewer or office use it gaming and retro gaming. and its rgb
I thought when the banana-for-scale was produced we'd get the "Benny Hill" theme again ;) The only trouble with classic games (esp Doom) is that you concentrate so hard you forget to blink, hence the blight of dry-eye syndrome amongst us Retro gamers lol Loved the vid - long live retro! :)
It's hardly surprising that the keyboard worked straight away, while the monitor was causing trouble. Nothing stands in the way of Dierya! Whoops, just got to the bit where the keyboard didn't work...I suppose another diarrhoea joke is needed! The Doom section reminded me of times when I've watched my brother play FPS's, and of how frustrating it can be for both involved :) PeriFractic pronounces "lever" quite oddly @38:57; I would blame being in the USA for too long but I don't think they, or anyone else, uses that pronunciation :) Must be down to computer troubleshooting stress!
It's done! It works! It's gorgeous and it plays DOOM! Congrats! But it was such a stressful episode. Can wait for the next retro-adventures of Ladyfractic, Josiefractic and MuscleBoundHunk.
Just had a YT suggestion for your video - was looking round your room! On your tables I spot an Apple II, atari 400, atari 2600, BBC model B with what looks like an original monitor , Original mac. and some randomness like the amiga mouse, c64 tape unit and stuff. Probably should be working rather than looking at your video!
FYI pigeonos is a virtual machine. The raspberry pi 4 does not have hardware virtualization and it has an ARM cpu. Not trying to be rude but try an x86-64 cpu in the case. An intel core i3 12th gen would be a lot more power and a cool sleeper pc. Would love to see that upgrade in a video further down the road.
Thanks for watching! For more like this please consider supporting the channel at patreon.com/perifractic 🙏

You video's are always a bright part of my week. Thanks again.
So nice job working out the kinks! I'd only suggest adding a heatsink since the pi 4 runs hotter than previous models, and it does impact performance.
We will probably slap one on next time we sit down to play a game 😊 - LF
Just watched both videos back to back, very fun build all of you. Thank you 👌🏻😊
In the terminal you can press the up arrow instead of retyping your entire command again...
glad you mentioned this as i was about to comment same thing , pressing up is a life saver
Good work Lady Fractic. That keyboard sound is so satisfying!

I did the same thing with the HDMI for Pi. Bought a mini instead of micro, because I didn't realize those were 2 different things. Doh!
You could easily add an external USB SSD for more storage on the system. There's plenty of space in that case.
Ladyfractic is the most beautiful woman on the planet. Like a Greek goddess, rivaling Gozar the Gozarian. The traveler has come!
OMG, such a smart woman! She used an Anti-static wrist strap! If she wasn't already taken! Haha great video!
Great video as always. *I did comment in part 1 that the ribbon cable was plugged in backwards, I did what I could :(

Now we need a Ladyfratic episode where she plays games on her new computer. 👍🏻
@3:58 Who is this "Perfractic" that put a motherboard in the dishwasher?

I was wondering about the monitor kit for the raspberry pi. Also I laugh when was backwards. Thanks for the video.
Where did you get the model for that? Have you seen the scifi TV show severance? At the main characters work they have 4 cubicles set up in an office and they're all using Data general dasher terminals but the weird operating system that's on them is added in post.

The utter genius who put the seems on the planes instead of the corners...
I never heard of this pigeonOS before but now I understand why 😅
Anyways, that's a great video. I want to see more Lady Fractic experiments like this one 😀
If you set the country to Australia would the screen have flipped the right way?
Nicely done! However, I have a question... how come the boot sequence log and everything was correct side up when you used your RetroPie SD card? I would expect it to be rotated again... so upside down...
We discovered a hidden option in the monitor itself for rotate.
Even nicer! Cute machine.
Smart, gorgeous, fun, talented, stunning, amazing, cute. I'm referring to Puppyfractic of course. Ladyfractic , and Josiefractic are OK too.
"Fractic" is the opposite of how I would describe Perry's disposition.
Remember. Original Doom didn't allow the player to look/aim up and down, nor jump, so WASD controls wasn't a thing yet for first person shooters when Doom was new in the mid 90s. You can rebind keys to do that.
30:41 what was that song called?
Wild Thing?
Sometimes it can be useful to put the cable tie through the sticky pad holes before you put the sticky pad onto whatever surface you are sticking it to.
Good job though. :)
PCBWAY = Pies can be wonderful and yummy!
Great video! I have a suggestion for you. I have built a number of retro systems using various models of Raspberry Pi computers and different monitors, keyboards, controllers, etc. One thing that I always do that helps is to bench test the components before installing them into the case. It will help you to identify any hardware or compatibility issues in advance. It is also easier to change your screen orientation if needed.
Love these EPs. Great seeing this come together. High five
Thank you. You guys make life a little easier :)
haha! Your dogs are absolutely adorable!!! 🤣❤
Thank you!! 😊
Ladyfractic, you should narrate Audio Books! That little narration of the assembled new screen was fractasticly soothing.
Great build, thanks, you may want to think about some heatsinks and possibly a fan for the Pi :)
Heat sink is already on there now 😊
I love it! I really want to build one of these computers.
Loved watching this. Out of curiosity what Retropie Theme are you running and which Commodore 64 emulator?
We can’t remember 🤦🏻♂️ Found it via the Facebook group
nailed it fantastic world we live in you can print your own case and there's components like the screen and keyboard you virtually have a pc which looks retro but is completly capable of being up to date and compact using raspberry pi and your not limited to any os or functions. by the change of os it could be media viewer or office use it gaming and retro gaming. and its rgb
I thought when the banana-for-scale was produced we'd get the "Benny Hill" theme again ;) The only trouble with classic games (esp Doom) is that you concentrate so hard you forget to blink, hence the blight of dry-eye syndrome amongst us Retro gamers lol Loved the vid - long live retro! :)
It's hardly surprising that the keyboard worked straight away, while the monitor was causing trouble. Nothing stands in the way of Dierya! Whoops, just got to the bit where the keyboard didn't work...I suppose another diarrhoea joke is needed! The Doom section reminded me of times when I've watched my brother play FPS's, and of how frustrating it can be for both involved :) PeriFractic pronounces "lever" quite oddly @38:57; I would blame being in the USA for too long but I don't think they, or anyone else, uses that pronunciation :) Must be down to computer troubleshooting stress!
What a great project! Nicely done!
Thank you so much! - LF
Love the retro 80's style, he even looks like Michael Knight!
Biggest compliment! 😍
It looks just like the terminal I learned to program on. Except for the dancing keyboard and the multi-color monitor.
It's done! It works! It's gorgeous and it plays DOOM! Congrats!
But it was such a stressful episode.
Can wait for the next retro-adventures of Ladyfractic, Josiefractic and MuscleBoundHunk.
doom 1 and 2 on a pi are fantastic.i have them running on my gpi case
Just had a YT suggestion for your video - was looking round your room! On your tables I spot an Apple II, atari 400, atari 2600, BBC model B with what looks like an original monitor , Original mac. and some randomness like the amiga mouse, c64 tape unit and stuff. Probably should be working rather than looking at your video!
FYI pigeonos is a virtual machine. The raspberry pi 4 does not have hardware virtualization and it has an ARM cpu. Not trying to be rude but try an x86-64 cpu in the case. An intel core i3 12th gen would be a lot more power and a cool sleeper pc. Would love to see that upgrade in a video further down the road.
I love this stuff! Great video, folks!
awesome! love these vids, feel nicely professional.
What a fantastic video , really interesting and your 3d printed case is fab, lady fractic reminds me of an 80s pop star such a cool look 👍
found you by accident, very cool studio setup :) cute doggos
Thank you for your kind words! Means a lot 👍🕹️
